Almost

[ A-1,Adverb,G4975, schedon ]
is used either
(a) of locality, Acts 19:26, or
(b) of degree, Acts 13:44; Hebrews 9:22.

[ B-1,Verb,G3195, mello ]
to be about to do anything, or to delay," is used in connection with a following verb in the sense of "almost," in Acts 21:27, lit., "And when the seven days were about to be completed." In Acts 26:28 the AV, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian" obscures the sense; the RV rightly has "with but little persuasion;" lit., "in a little." See ABOUT, B.
